    Answer: d) $369.31 to $380.69

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given;

    Mean price x = $375

    Standard deviation r = $20

    Number of retail stores n = 50

    Confidence interval of 95%

    Z * (95%) = 1.96

    Confidence interval = x+/-Z * (r/√n)

    = $375+ / - 1.96 (20/√50)

    = $375+ / - 5.69

    Confidence interval = ($369.31 to $380.79)
